Sex Journalism, Violet Blue and Good Vibes

sex journalism

by Joy Strange

Here’s a story I haven’t heard anything about on NPR; Good Vibes, the legendary pro-sex and pro-woman sex toy outlet has been sold to a “mainstream porn” group. That according to Violet Blue’s blog, which links to an SF Chronicle article by Phil Bronstein reporting the sale (which actually happened in 2007)  and the differences of opinion regarding changes in attitude and quality of the chain overall since it changed hands.

Is Good Vibes still a shop for women? Is it shifting to a more degraded sleaze-bag porn store mentality? You be the judge.

Regardless of how you feel about the sale of Good Vibes itself, what impresses me here is the quality of the reportage. This story is treated well, it’s given a fair and balanced treatment, and there are actual human feelings evident. That’s something that wouldn’t be possible in the hands of a lesser writer, smirking about a sex toy shop controversy.

Aspiring sex writers, read and take notes. This is one to aspire to.
